Odio Et Atia
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Odio et atia, a writ anciently called breve de bono etmalo, addressed to the sheriff to inquire whether a man committed to prison upon suspicion of murder were committed on just cause of suspicion, or only upon malice and ill-will; and if, upon the inquisition, it was found that he was not guilty, then there issued another writ to the sheriff to bail him, Reg. Brev. 133. But the practice now is to issue a habeas corpus
